Eugene V. Debs: Rarest Design of the Famed 1920 "Convict Button"
Series. Rather than being identified by name, Debs is simply
"Convict no 2253" on this classic third-party button. Debs ran his
fifth and final quixotic presidential campaign from his prison cell
in 1920. All convict button varieties are scarce and highly valued
by collectors. The more familiar designs depict him in prison garb
behind bars, but sophisticated specialists recognize the rarity of
this version. Choice condition. Diameter 7/8".
